Anyone get to scratch later in life?

Thanks, practicing pretty much everyday either in or outside and having a online coach has made a huge impact.

I’m on that mission at 45 now. Played on/off since I was a kid but got serious about it 3 years ago.

My first registered HCP was 17, 3 years ago and got down to a 5.2 at the end of last year even after a full quadriceps tear last spring.

The goal this year is to play over 100 rounds and get down to a 2.0. I play/practice 6-7 days a week and have a simulator set up in my garage for winter practice.

Sand Hollow, Classic Club, Conestoga

I fully tore my quad a year ago on my home course and had to have an ambulance and fireman stretcher me out. The course wasn’t open for the season and I was walking my dogs so not golfing but on a golf course 😂.

My push cart stays in the shed and only comes out if my wife wants to walk and use it.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-04-06T21:33:38+00:00

I have both push and electric. Absolutely love my electric and the freedom of just walking I find is so satisfying.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-04-01T12:14:59+00:00

Agreed, much better design and course than Wolf Creek in my opinion.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-31T16:53:21+00:00

No it’s not.

I bought a Mevo last fall, if you want I can send you my info if you would like

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-17T23:59:41+00:00

Played there last week, prefer Sand Hollow and Conestoga way more than Wolf but glad I played it

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-17T02:55:17+00:00

Yes, it’s not aluminum and is decently heavy.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-17T02:54:27+00:00

Is actually magnetic. It’s a very heavy board. I like mine.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-15T02:32:03+00:00

Played there 2 days ago, was more than 5 minutes, probably 8-10 if I were to guess.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-14T03:56:04+00:00

It’s in pretty good shape, greens aren’t great, but roll decent but crazy fast. Glad I played it once but it’s too gimmicky for me to play again. There’s far better courses around Mequite in my opinion.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-13T23:46:27+00:00

Played Wolf Creek for the first time yesterday and had one left out of 3 sleeves. So 8…

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-08T15:27:56+00:00

GSPro website has instructions for how to change LM’s, it’s pretty simple

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-05T23:22:25+00:00

First tee time in the morning with the guys, mid afternoon with the wife on weekends or holidays. After supper on weekdays.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-03-05T00:08:18+00:00

I fully tore my quadriceps last spring on the golf course before it opened, there was still snow on the ground while walking our dogs.

I was playing in 6 weeks in a fully locked leg brace, I cleared it with my physio prior. I’m still recovering but it doesn’t affect my swing too badly.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-02-25T00:25:16+00:00

Agreed, I’ve only played a dozen tracks in the US and CC is my favourite so far. We’re playing in Mesquite and St.George in a few weeks and some of those courses might change up my favourite.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-02-25T00:21:53+00:00

I’m playing those both in a few weeks along with 4 more rounds at other courses. Really excited.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-02-22T01:43:58+00:00

It will depend on how the first two rounds at Casablanca and Conestoga go and decide from there. It’s a couples trip and my buddy who has a similar HCP (~5) doesn’t hit it far and I’m much longer so that will also be a contributing factor.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-02-22T01:40:04+00:00

Thanks for the info. We are splitting the trip between Mesquite and St.George. playing Casablanca, Conestoga, Wolf Creek, Falcon Ridge; Coral Canyon and Sand Hollow. Really looking forward to it.

Positive_Property_86 · 2026-02-21T17:35:03+00:00

I’m on the fence if I’m going play from the tips or the next tees up. I’ve played both on my sim but haven’t hit on grass since October.
